School Lunch:

Fall Musical:

The Pajama Game!Winning best musical in 1955, The Pajama Game is about labor troubles in a pajama factory, where workers' demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent. (from Wiki) There are a lot of great songs, fun characters, and an overall powerful story about union rights. You can watch the movie version on Amazon Prime for free. It stars Doris Day and is fabulous. I'm super psyched to have settled on a musical that feels really right for us. (Thanks to James for suggesting this show!)Can you please do me a favor and encourage students to audition? Many seniors graduated this year and many middle schools switched schools, which means we have a smaller acting pool this year. Anyone and everyone should audition, experience is not necessary.Auditions are September 4-5 from 2:45-4:30. They should bring a song (could be from this show!) and I'll have scenes ready to read from. Attached is the flyer. Performances will be Nov 9-11.Thanks and see you all in a few weeks!Theatrically yours,Jessa
